In keeping with the Mission, Vision and Values of the Niagara Catholic District School Board, the Niagara Catholic District School Board values the leadership, participation, and voice of students and their Elementary Student Senate representatives.

The Niagara Catholic District School Board recognizes the benefits accrued when students have an opportunity to share and represent the perspectives and insights from their school communities.

To assist the Student Trustees on the Board and the Student Representatives to the Niagara Catholic Parent Involvement Committee (NCPIC) and the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC), the Niagara Catholic Elementary Student Senate has been established with elementary representatives from each Family of Schools within the Board.

The Elementary Student Senate provides a forum for student servant leadership, the exchange of ideas, discussion, consultation, peer mentorship and communication through its Co-Chairs to the Secondary Student Senate, the Student Trustees on the Niagara Catholic District School Board and the Director of Education.

The Director of Education will issue Administrative Operational Procedures for the implementation of this policy.
